Directions (11-15): Study the following information to answer the given questions:
A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement. (All the numbers are two-digit numbers and all are arranged as per some logic based on the value of the number.)
Input: win 56 32 93 bat for 46 him 28 11 give chance
Step I: 93 56 32 bat for 46 him 28 11 give chance win
Step II: 11 93 56 32 bat for 46 28 give chance win him
Step III: 56 11 93 32 bat for 46 28 chance win him give
Step IV: 28 56 11 93 32 bat 46 chance win him give for
Step V: 46 28 56 11 93 32 bat win him give for chance

None of these

Solution:

Solution (11-15):
The word and number arrangement machine rearranges the input with the logic that in step I, it shifts the largest number to the left-most place and the last word coming in English alphabetical series to the rightmost place. In step II, it shifts the smallest number to the leftmost place and the next word (in reverse alphabetical order) to the rightmost. In step III 2nd largest number is shifted to the leftmost place and so on.

Directions (16): In the following question there are sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence(s) or part(s) of sentence(s) that is/are correct in terms of grammar and usage (including spelling, punctuation and logical consistency). Then, choose the most appropriate option.
Q16. A. I did not know what to make of you.
B. Because you’d lived in India, I associate you more with my parents that with me.
C. And yet you were unlike my cousins in Calcutta, who seem so innocent and obedient when I visited them.
D. You were not curious about me in the least.
E. Although you did make effort to meet me.

A only

A and B

A and E

D only

A and D

Solution:

Statement A and D are correct. Statement B should have read “…I associated…”, Statement C should have read “…who seemed…” And statement E should have read “make an effort…”. Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.

Directions (17-20): Each of the following questions has a paragraph from which the last sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose the sentence that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.

Q17. Most people at their first consultation take a furtive look at the surgeon’s hands in the hope of reassurance. Prospective patients look for delicacy, sensitivity, steadiness, perhaps unblemished pallor. On this basis, Henry Perowne loses a number of cases each year. Generally, he knows it’s about to happen before the patient does: the downward glance repeated, the prepared questions beginning to falter, the overemphatic thanks during the retreat to the door.

Other people do not communicate due to their poor observation.

Other patients do not like what they see but are ignorant of their right to g elsewhere.

But Perowne himself is not concerned.

But others will take their place, he thought.

These hands are steady enough, but they are large.

Solution:

Option (c) best concludes the paragraph as it shows us exactly what Perowne is thinking. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Q18. Trade protectionism, disguised as concern for the climate, is raising its head. Citing competitiveness concerns, powerful industrialised countries are holding out threats of a levy on imports of energy-intensive products from developing countries that refuse to accept their demands. The actual sense of protectionist sentiment in the OECD countries is, of course, their current lackluster economic performance, combined with the challenges posed by rapid economic rise of China and India – in that order.

Climate change is evoked to bring trade protectionism through the back door.

OECD countries are taking refuge in climate change issues to erect trade barriers against these two countries.

Climate change concerns have come as a convenient stick to beat the rising trade power of China and India.

Defenders of global economic status quo are posing as climate change champions.

Today’s climate change champions are the perpetrators of global economic inequity.

Solution:

Option (d) is the most logical conclusion of the discussion of the paragraph, and also its central idea. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Q19. Mattancherry is Indian Jewry’s most famous settlement. Its pretty streets of pastel coloured houses, connected by first-floor passages and home to the last twelve saree-and-sarong-wearing, white-skinned Indian Jews are visited by thousands of tourists each year. Its synagogue, built in 1568, with a floor of blue and white china tiles, a carpet given by Haile Selassie and the frosty Yaheh selling tickets at the door, stands as an image of religious tolerance.

Mattancherry represents, therefore, the perfect picture of peaceful coexistence.

India’s Jews have almost never suffered discrimination, except for European colonizers and each other.

Jews in India were always tolerant.

Religious tolerance has always been only a façade and nothing more.

The pretty pastel streets are, thus, very popular with the tourists.

Solution:

Option (a) best concludes the paragraph. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Q20. Given the cultural and intellectual interconnections, the question of what is ‘Western’ and what is ‘Eastern’ (or Indian) is often hard to decide, and the issue can be discussed only in more dialectical terms. The diagnosis of a thought as ‘Purely Western’ or ‘Purely Indian’ can be very illusory.

Thoughts are not the kind of things that can be easily categorized.

Thought ‘occidentalism’ and ‘orientalism’ are dichotomous concepts.

‘East is East and West is West’ has been a discredited notion for a long time now.

Compartmentalizing thoughts is often desirable.

The origin of a thought is not the kind of thing to which ‘purity’ happened easily

Solution:

Option (e) best fits the paragraph by completing the argument. Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.
